Final answer:

The inverse function of f(x) = 4x - 3 is found by switching x and y in the equation and solving for y. The resulting inverse function is f^-1(x) = (x + 3) / 4, which is not listed among the provided choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse function, we need to follow a few steps. Starting with the function f(x) = 4x - 3, we switch the x and y and then solve for y to find the inverse function f-1(x). The steps are as follows:

  1. Write the function as y = 4x - 3.
  2. Switch x and y to get x = 4y - 3.
  3. Add 3 to both sides: x + 3 = 4y.
  4. Finally, divide by 4 to solve for y: y = (x + 3) / 4.

Therefore, the inverse function is f-1(x) = (x + 3) / 4, which is not explicitly listed among the choices provided. It seems there might have been a typo in the options for the inverse function provided in the question.
